    I love all Jose Andreas restaurants, but this experience was not up to the usual standard. The service was practically non-existent. One dish (zaatar fries) came out as plain fries without the zaatar, and when we inquired, they said they will bring the missing ingredient, but never came back. The rest of the food was good, especially the Brussel sprouts.

    Great time and good food as usual. Disappointing in that it was my 37th anniversary and I had mentioned it in my reservation. Nothing from the restaurant. Maybe I expected too much.

    Beautiful decor. Food was ok. Have been traveling lately and had much better Mediterranean food in New York City and Tamarindo Costa Rica. Service was good.

    The food and service were outstanding, as usual. The music was a bit loud and made it difficult at times to hear the others at our table. Otherwise, it was stellar!
